They clearly didn't. @ Dave - you're correct. I think most C&Ds for domain names that are infringing include a request to transfer the domain. @ John – I think you’re assuming the law firm understood what was going on. They clearly didn’t.

But yeah, it would be nice if it's only used to get the other party to cease and desist. Hmm, better change that to cease, desist and transfer...or else.

Another thing is, a first “cease and desist” letter should be just that, a letter telling whomever to stop using the domain name for that particular purpose, and not ask for the transfer.

They are wrong, they should be sending such a "cease and desist" letter to that third party, whomever it is Dell, Gateway, or whatever ISP that is doing this. Talk about extreme reverse hijacking. This to me is not only wrong and unethical, but even a harassment to the owner of Teri.com.
